• Black Box Session 10-13-00 (2)

    Session five of ten [This is a continuation of the transcript] Friday, October 13, 2000 My chest feels pretty normal, so I think maybe his does too. At least, I hope so. [pause] As soon as I said that, I heard a wheeze, which made me go “not so fast.” [pause] It’s still amazing how…

  • Exploring the Afterlife – Successfully!

    I found this via Wikipedia, of all places, which referenced, in an article about Bruce Moen, this write-up of Bruce’s afterlife knowledge workshop that I had placed in the Hampton Roads blog. July 21, 2005: Exploring the Afterlife – Successfully! By Frank DeMarco, Editor-in-chief Bruce Moen‘s “Exploring the Afterlife” workshop, the second in our series…

  • Claude Bowers on Revolution

    [Wednesday March 8, 2006] Revolutions (11:40) I was thinking about what at first seemed obvious – politics follows your interest – and realize it isn’t as simple as it first appeared. I am sort of residually a Democrat. I don’t like them much but I detest so much of the Republican rhetoric and adventurism. But…

  • Black Box session 11-03-00 (3) correction

    Correcting a mistake. In Black Box session 11-03-00 (3) I scanned the wrong report. The right report, below, demonstrates a session spent dancing the null:  

  • Black Box Session 10-13-00 (3)

    Session five of ten Friday, October 13, 2000 [change side of tape] I’m going to say it just to swat the fly. I was going to be too polite. But the war ended in ’45, not in ’43. Now I can swat the fly and forget about it. [laughs] S: I must have been thinking…

  • Lincoln Steffans on transformations

    [My friend Michael Langevin, publisher of Magical Blend magazine, had heard me raving about Lincoln Steffans’ autobiography, and got the idea to have me ask Mr. Steffans for advice on the subject — as Henry Thoreau once put it — of how to aspire and respire at the same time.] 8:30 p.m. Monday March 13,…

  • Carl Jung on the work we must do on ourselves

    [I sent this post out to my friends feeling particularly vulnerable, for reasons that will appear.] Not being particularly fond of the idea of being laughed at, I still don’t see any choice but to send this out, as either one tells the truth about one’s experiences, or one does not. But this process sure…

  • Black Box Session 10-13-00 (4)

    Session five of ten (continued) Friday, October 13, 2000 S: Let’s go ahead and move to 21 and get outside of time and considerations to that next level. F: [long pause] As I try to communicate with Bertram, the waves of cold just come overwhelmingly. I still feel like I’m inside the crystal, or rather…

  • Henry Thoreau: You needn’t chain yourself to your plow

    [8:30 p.m. Tuesday March 14, 2006] Friend Henry, you wrote in Walden that after a while sometimes at two in the afternoon things got a little slow – that you were on the edge of being bored. That seems to be where I am now, in my freedom that is only a few months old,…

  • Bowers vs. Smallwood

    Thursday March 9, 2006 Books as weapons (6:30 p.m.) I don’t mean to quarrel, Mr. Bowers, but the final taste your book leaves in my mouth is one of partisanship. All the nobility on one side, rascality the only motive on the other side. It is overdone, and ultimately doesn’t wash. This book looks to…
